Lyrics
If I could just go out and get a coffee
And read the paper in the park,
Then maybe I’d shuffle off
This feeling in my skin
From always staying in,
Then maybe I’d be fine.
If I could just go out and see a movie,
And eat my popcorn in the dark,
And yell at the guy behind me
For chewing like a beaver on a tree,
Instead of passing out in front of my tv,
Then maybe I’d be fine.
But all I want is more,
And all I’d like
Is less than I before.
And I can dream of little things,
Can’t I,
Outside these four walls?
While in the meantime it stalls.
If I could meet my friends on a Saturday,
And share a bottle in in the sun,
And when the day is done,
I’d hug them in the light
And know we’re gonna be alright,
Then maybe I’d be fine.
But all I want is more,
And all I’d like
Is less than I before.
And I can dream of little things,
Can’t I,
Outside these four walls?
Yes, all I want is more,
And all I’d like
Is less than I before.
And I can dream of little things,
Can’t I,
Outside these four walls?
Outside these four walls?
